A Web Based Program for Dynamic Simulation of Fed-Batch Penicillin Production

Remark: Now, you are ready to run a simulation. Please look at the flow sheet of the process to become familiar with the physical system and enter the conditions of your own choice.

Please note that, although there are some hard constraints on the parameters, there are no soft constraints, hence, there is no guarantee to obtain physically meaningful output depending on the choice of the conditions you make!

Please enter simulation conditions:
